7:03 pm
speaking to our correspondent but thatis speaking to our correspondent but that is the latest there. to the rest of the day's news. the high court in london has ruled that a major plan which aims to reduce air pollution in the capital can go ahead. it's an issue affecting many places around globally, with the world health organization describing air pollution is one of the greatest environmental risk to health. the plan to expand the city's ultra low emissions zone known as the ulez is due to go ahead on august 29th after five conservative led councils tried to have the expansion of the scheme halted. ulez has been at the centre of a major political row and is thought to have contributed to labour's failure in last week's uxbridge by election. several cities in the uk and globally are considering similar schemes. we'll look at the global impact in a moment but first here's our transport correspondent katy austin with this report. in harrow in north—west london, the prospect of the ultra low emissions zone arriving in just a month's time
7:04 pm
provoked some strong reactions. we can't afford it, it's rubbish. it's just to get more money out of the public. others we spoke to agreed with the idea but had had to change their vehicle. we sold the car, didn't get much for it because the demand for diesels wasn't great. and then had to have a big outlay into purchasing a new car. i have had to apply for the scrappage scheme and change my van for a more up—to—date one. clean air campaign assay expanding ulez will bring health benefits, a view echoed by some leading scientists. there is a lot of scientific evidence that highlights the fact that, with cleaner air means healthier lungs, healthier bodies, healthier environments for all to live in. but expanding ulez across the whole of greater london has attracted controversy. five local councils mounted a legal challenge
7:05 pm
over the expansion plan. they argued the mayor lacked the power is to expand the sound that far, and they attacked both lusty�*s consultation process and the scrappage scheme. ——last yea r�*s. a high courtjudge has now dismissed that challenge. the mayor has vowed to press ahead. there are children who have stunted lungs for ever because of air pollution, adults with a host of health issues from asthma to cancer, dementia to heart disease. i have been listening through out this process, i'll carry on listening. it is the case that the high court confirmed that nine out of ten cars in outer london are compliant. the councils are not planning to appeal but expressed disappointment. we thought it was the wrong thing to do at the wrong time, we don't think it is the impact that the mayor is now claiming it does, i suggest he goes to read his own report that was part of the decision—making process, that actually says this will have a very small impact on air quality in outer london. clean air zones with differing rules and charges have
7:06 pm
sprung up in other places too in recent years, including birmingham and bristol. while ulez expansion looks set to go ahead, the political debate will continue. katy austin, bbc news. earlier we heard from rosamund?adoo kissi debrah, a mother who's 9—year—old daughter, ella, died in 2013 from a rare and severe form of asthma partly due to the effects of london's air pollution. rosamund has since campaigned for stronger action on toxic air and is now world health organisation�*s?advocate?for health and air quality. she gave her reaction to the ruling. relief because as you know it goes up relief because as you know it goes up to the south centre and it is divided into 2/2. 0ne up to the south centre and it is divided into 2/2. one has the ultra low emissions zone and one does not. and the roads that contradict my late daughter's passing was not part
7:07 pm
of the ultra low emissions zone. 0nce of the ultra low emissions zone. once the quarter set is that there were illegal levels of air pollution everywhere and if it was not for the illegal levels of air pollution, my daughter would not have got asthma nor would she have died on that fatal night. but can we please remember that 8—12 children die every yearjust in london alone. a quarter million of children in london now have asthma and also we have now long covid as well. so this is really, really a health issue. not an environment issue. talking on her nine-year-old _ not an environment issue. talking on her nine-year-old daughter— not an environment issue. talking on her nine-year-old daughter who - not an environment issue. talking on her nine-year-old daughter who died | her nine—year—old daughter who died as a result of the severe form of asthma. according to the world health organisation they say that by reducing air pollution levels, countries can reduce the burden of health issues from stroke,
7:08 pm
heart disease, lung cancer, and both chronic and acute respiratory diseases, including asthma. we can see them across england and scotland here in 13 different cities from aberdeen in the north east of scotland down to bradford, birmingham and beyond. but let's look at how that compares to the rest of western europe. italy and germany are leading the way by some distance with over 240 between, making up for around a third of europe's clean air zones. in contrast portugal and spain have considerable ground to make up, although there are plans to expand the number of clean air zones here. but let's take a closer look at italy. they have over 170 of these zones, although it should be said that some cities contain more than one. there's a high concentration of them in the north of the country, but they are present in areas as far as sicily too. rome, milan, turin, florence, bologna and many more cities across the country restrict where you can drive. andrew pendleton is the deputy ceo of environmental global action plan that
7:09 pm
supports ulez expansion. we set thank you forjoining us on the programme. during theirfrom a mother who lost her daughter who is also a campaigner and advocate. this is very much the air quality, air pollution is a very real thing and felt by many people.— pollution is a very real thing and felt by many people. pollution is the number _ felt by many people. pollution is the number one _ felt by many people. pollution is the number one public— felt by many people. pollution is the number one public health, i the number one public health, environmental public health challenge of the world. so it is right decision—makers like the mayor of london take action. ulez is a good scheme, has been proven to work in central london or in her lung and —— inter—london which it has been brought into phases so far. in the air pollution problem as result of thatis air pollution problem as result of that is a lot worse in our london. so it is right to bring it in because in particular, our london has a generally slightly more older population than the inner london areas. as we age, we become more susceptible to some of the health effects of air pollution. heart attack, stroke, dementia, it is very
7:10 pm
bad news for our health and that is why we need to bear down on it. so the court's into phases truly believing. the court's into phases truly believing-— the court's into phases truly believing. the court's into phases truly believinu. ., ., , believing. break down for us the kind of cars _ believing. break down for us the kind of cars that _ believing. break down for us the kind of cars that will _ believing. break down for us the kind of cars that will be - believing. break down for us the | kind of cars that will be impacted and those that are allowed to enter this zone. the and those that are allowed to enter this zone. , ., and those that are allowed to enter this zone. ,., ., ., . ., ., ., this zone. the point of a clear area zoned like — this zone. the point of a clear area zoned like the _ this zone. the point of a clear area zoned like the ultra _ this zone. the point of a clear area zoned like the ultra low— this zone. the point of a clear area zoned like the ultra low emissions| zoned like the ultra low emissions zoned like the ultra low emissions zonein zoned like the ultra low emissions zone in london is it gives it —— get rights of the oldest and most polluting cars in an inner—city area. forwhat polluting cars in an inner—city area. for what that means is that it may sound like a relatively small number of vehicles that it is taken off of the road, the estimate for transport for london, the transport authority in london is that around one in ten build vehicles and our london are not compliant or will not comply with ulez. those vehicles are responsible for a substantial amount of the pollution that we see. because they are older and more polluting. that is the point of it.
7:11 pm
slightly newer diesel. diesel is up to 2015 or somewhat older petrol engines around 2005—6. and of course the mayor has a scrappage scheme which he is even increased the generosity of that today. in light of the court's ruling. so an awful lot of people who do find themselves with vehicles that will not comply. we'll be able to benefit from the scrappage scheme. $1150 we'll be able to benefit from the scrappage scheme.— we'll be able to benefit from the scrappage scheme. also an awful lot of --eole scrappage scheme. also an awful lot of peeple who _ scrappage scheme. also an awful lot of people who were _ scrappage scheme. also an awful lot of people who were quite _ scrappage scheme. also an awful lot of people who were quite upset - scrappage scheme. also an awful lot of people who were quite upset on i of people who were quite upset on this because of the cost.— of people who were quite upset on this because of the cost. there are. you will only _ this because of the cost. there are. you will only pay — this because of the cost. there are. you will only pay the _ this because of the cost. there are. you will only pay the charge - this because of the cost. there are. you will only pay the charge if - this because of the cost. there are. you will only pay the charge if you | you will only pay the charge if you have one of those noncompliant vehicles. that is the first thing. secondly, is that the campaign by those who have been anti—word—mac including the five counsellors who brought legal action, has actually been somewhat mendacious and full of misinformation sales i think it is scare people into thinking people will have to pay a charge when they probably will not. because they have
7:12 pm
a vehicle that is already compliance. the best way to find out is go on the transport for london website and there is a box where you can type the registration number of your vehicle into. that will tell you, that is the quickest way to find out. ~ , ., . find out. whether your vehicle com - lies find out. whether your vehicle complies or — find out. whether your vehicle complies or not. _ find out. whether your vehicle complies or not. i _ find out. whether your vehicle complies or not. i will- find out. whether your vehicle complies or not. i willjust - find out. whether your vehicle complies or not. i willjust putj complies or not. i willjust put some of the concerns of some people we have spoken to, some traders who say, you cannotjust bulldoze your way into these things. that there needs to be some kind of staggered approach, ratherthan needs to be some kind of staggered approach, rather than making this ruling. because of course people will struggle to purchase new vehicles. they will struggle to pay for the cost of this. if they want to get around london and other parts of the country. first to get around london and other parts of the country-— of the country. first thing to say is that it is _ of the country. first thing to say is that it is a _ of the country. first thing to say is that it is a tough _ of the country. first thing to say is that it is a tough time - of the country. first thing to say is that it is a tough time in - of the country. first thing to say is that it is a tough time in the l is that it is a tough time in the cost—of—living crisis is very real for a lot of people. the ultralow emissions zone is not the cause of the cost—of—living crisis, but i think it is legitimate but concerned
7:13 pm
for some people that can make things worse. that is why the scrappage scheme is there. one problem we have is of course the hard border. if you live just outside that board and travel in and out of the ulez, you will not be eligible for the mayor's scrappage scheme. i think that is a failure from central government, not supporting the mayor's policy with a further support for households who live just around the edge of that boundaries. 50 live just around the edge of that boundaries-— live just around the edge of that boundaries. . , ., . , , boundaries. so what needs to happen to brin: boundaries. so what needs to happen to bring these — boundaries. so what needs to happen to bring these other _ boundaries. so what needs to happen to bring these other people _ boundaries. so what needs to happen to bring these other people into - to bring these other people into this? because of course traders, people who have shops and stores, not just consumers say they are being impacted by this. because people cannot get to the work people are not coming out to purchase things. i are not coming out to purchase thins. ~ , ., ., things. i think is important to establish the _ things. i think is important to establish the facts _ things. i think is important to establish the facts first. - things. i think is important to establish the facts first. as i l establish the facts first. as i said, find out, for definite whether your vehicle complies or not. because we heard stories of people canvassing in the uxbridge and south by election turning up on the
7:14 pm
doorstep of people who had electric cars outside of the house —— house angry about having to pay for the ulez. so there has been a lot of scaremongering. so a lot of that. this will go ahead now so it is time for central government got its act together and help people who live just outside of the zone. so with london taxpayer, money is not fair to ask london taxpayers to pay for people who live outside of london, for scrappage schemes for them. those were central government needs to step in. i think it is time the sort of political opposition, political parties using this political parties using this political opposition, that time is now gone. it will go ahead, let's make it as easy as we can for people. make it as easy as we can for --eole. ., ~' ,, �* people. thank you andrew, we will have to leave _ people. thank you andrew, we will have to leave it _ people. thank you andrew, we will have to leave it there. _ around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. a seven—year—old girl has died after a hit and run incident in the west midlands. a 14—year—old boy has
7:15 pm
been arrested by police. the victim was hit by a motorcycle in walsall. she was taken to hospital but later died. the collision happened yesterday evening. police described it as �*tragic�* and have appealed for help in trying to recover the motorbike. this young people who have those bikes, with someone older who has given it to them and i hope everyone who did that with this bike is as responsible as the writer. i think it is a community response. if you are the kind of person that will give those bikes to young people to drive around recklessly on our streets and knock over young people, stop that now. secondly, if you live near someone per unit that is what they are doing, and we've made this appeal before, please, please tell us. we run an operation five times now this year. and we have taken 30 bikes off of the road and made loads of arrests.
7:16 pm
you're live with bbc news. let's turn to a story of courage from a remarkable young woman. poppy is 18, and was sexually abused as a child by her grandfather. he was eventually convicted of her rape and jailed for 13 years. but now, poppy's waived her right to anonimity, to try to help other victims of sexual abuse, by talking about her experience. new analysis for the bbc, by the centre of expertise on child sexual abuse, reveals in the last year, police forces in england and wales, recorded over a hundred thousand sexual offences against children, that's a 57% increase, in six years. experts say the rise is largely due to greater awareness, but most abuse remains hidden. 0ur social affairs editor, alison holt, has poppy's story. a few words with her dad on the phone and with her mum watching. this is a big day for poppyjust before her 18th birthday. see you later.
7:17 pm
she's doing her first skydive to raise money for a charity that helped her cope with the sexual abuse that devastated her early life. she's also trying to change attitudes. take away the shame. why should we be hidden? it is a crime if you look at it in black and white and you're a victim of the crime, it's as simple as that. she has set aside her legal right to remain anonymous. she hopes by speaking to me so openly it will make it easier for abuse survivors to get support. i think if people can see a face behind something so taboo, it makes it more relatable. i am like any other person probably going through it. one thing i suppose survivors are very good at, and i was very good at, was hiding that. nothing was wrong, people didn't see it in me. abuse can put betrayal
7:18 pm
at the heart of a home. poppy was sexually abused by her paternal grandfatherjohn. she called him dan dan. it started when she was a toddler. i thought it happened to everyone. i thought grandparents did that to their grandchildren. pops, pops, look at daddy. this is poppy on a trip to legoland aged five. she'd just tried to tell her parents about the abuse. they thought she had accidentally seen her grandfather in the shower so spoke to him about that. the abuse did stop, but poppy says over the following years she was eaten alive with guilt and anxiety. i'm thinking, "am i that bad? am i really that bad?" "i shouldn't be here, i don't deserve anything." one day when she was 11 she was being physically sick. her mum miranda suggested a walk. ijust said to her, "babes, has something awful happened to you?" and she said,
7:19 pm
"you know it has, mum." and i was like... sorry. "what do you mean?" and she said, "do you remember that day we went to legoland and you spoke to dan dan?" she said, "it wasn't just naked, mum." and just the look on her face said it all, ijust knew. i think i was so terrified to let my mum know, that she would turn around and be like, "you are lying," or "that's disgusting," or, yeah, just think i was a horrible person for it as well, which i had done. and what was her reaction? it was just an immediate, "we are going to get through this." for her dad david, there was the distress of knowing
7:20 pm
his father was the abuser. he on one hand - was abusing our daughter and then five minutes later- he was having a cup of tea with us. i then felt, "who is this man?" but then equally as a child i had grown up _ and had many, many happy memories, so there was a real, real conflict in my mind _ david reported his father to the police. john was later convicted of raping poppy and jailed for 13 and a half years. he died in prison last november. what would you say to those who say it couldn't happen in my family? i said that, we said that. it happens with people who generally you know, generally you love. - it can happen under your nose. now, through her skydive, poppy is raising money for a helpline to support abuse survivors whilst they wait for counselling. it can take months to get that help,
7:21 pm
but the family says it was vital for them. above all, poppy want survivors to know someone will listen. take that jump. easy for me to say, i have taken the jump, i am living the life i live now. i can't promise that you will be believed like everyone, but i can promise that there is someone that will believe you and there is a way through this. a real story of courage. and you can find out more about poppy's story, in a longer programme now available, on the bbc iplayer. and if you've been affected by child sexual abuse, details of organisations, offering information and support, are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline
7:22 pm
that presidential guard in the year has appeared on state television. the pictures you're looking at now are of the head of the presidential guard who appeared on state television a few hours ago to announce himself as the country's new ruler. general abdourahamane tchiani wore military fatigues as he read a statement on behalf of niger's national council for the safeguarding of the homeland, urging the �*population to remain calm'. have a listen. the action of the cnsp is motivated by the sole desire to preserve our beloved homeland in the face of the continuous deterioration of the security situation of our country. the foreign authorities have failed to give a real solution to the crisis and have provided poor economic and social governance. so who exactly is
7:23 pm
general 0mar tchiani? he's the 62—year—old self appointed leader of niger. he's served as the leader of the elite presidential guard since 2015. and he's a close ally of the former president mahamadoi issoufou, who faced a thwarted coup in 2021. but general tchiani has himself been implicated in a different coup attempt something he denied in court. the coup has been roundly condemned by international bodies including the african union, west african regional bloc, the eu and the united nations. it's the latest in a wave of military takeovers that have hit the west african region in recent years, toppling governments in countries including mali, guinea and burkina faso. niger's elected president, mohamed bazoum, is still being detained. it's reported that president bazoum spoke to the french president emmanuel macron early on friday and told him that he was "in good health". i spoke earlier to our reporter
7:24 pm
chris ewokor, who is monitoring events from neighbouring nigeria. after the announcement of declaring himself the president of the transitional council in niger today. well, there have been a lot of frantic efforts and, of course, reactions across the world. in nigeria, for instance, the president, tinubu bola ahmed tinubu, who is the chairman of the heads of government, has now called an emergency meeting of the heads of state to hold this weekend. i mean, on sunday. and the focus of that meeting is to discuss the situation and developments in niger and back in niger. general abdul—rahman cheney has been in a meeting with top civil general abdul—rahman tchiani has been in a meeting with top civil servants of the various ministries. he started out meeting about two or 3 hours ago and still
7:25 pm
been in that meeting. and obviously, many think that aside from introducing himself to the civil servants, he might also be discussing with them, seeking the opinion and telling them the direction that he would want to go. 0ur reporter reporting from the neighbouring country, nigeria. back with all the latest headlines of the next few minutes. you can get hello. friday was a pleasant enough day for most of us. just a few showers here and there. but how about the weekend? it is looking a little on the unsettled side but i don't think it is going to be as bad as last weekend. last weekend, at least saturday for some of us was an absolute write—off without persistent rain and the strong winds. but on the satellite picture,
7:26 pm
low pressure is close by — and a fair amount of cloud and low pressures are heading our way. in fact, over the next few days, we will see a succession of lows sweeping across the country. here is the picture early in the morning, not particularly cold, 13—15 degrees celsius. sunny spells, already a few scattered showers, some of them on the heavy side. and actually, as we go through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, the showers may become more frequent, particularly in northern ireland, scotland and northern england. least frequent showers i think the further south and south—east you are. so frequent sunny spells here. and temperatures up to about 22 celsius in norwich, high teens expected in belfast and through the lowlands of scotland. how does that bode for the cricket? well, certainly showers on the cards, and of course it is scheduled until monday. i think showers are expected until then as well. here is the picture for sunday. jet stream across the atlantic, another low heading our way and the weather front at this stage in the morning approaching ireland with more persistent outbreaks
7:27 pm
of rain, then reaching the south—west of wales. but it is not cloudy and wet everywhere, far from it. in fact, across much of northern england and scotland, there will be plenty of bright weather and actually quite sunny there in aberdeen and stornoway. with highs of up to about 18 celsius. i mentioned at the beginning of the forecast that there is a succession of low pressure is heading our way. and indeed, thejet stream is pointing right at us. look at all that rainfall, and notjust here in the uk but right across europe. further south in the mediterranean, it is going to be dry. so how well it hasjuly been? because it has been wet. in fact, in northern ireland, 184% of the average rainfall. and in england, about 163% of the average. but of course that does vary from region to region. so here is the outlook for the weekend and into next week. it is more of the same, on the cool side but not far off average. and of course changeable. bye— bye.
